Hey there, Razorwire listener! In this episode, we welcome back cybersecurity experts Richard Cassidy and Oliver Rochford to follow up on our AI podcast back in November. Join us for spirited debates on the current state of AI capabilities, their imminent impacts on society and business, and thought-provoking speculation on the future of AI and its existential promise and perils.
We tackle AI topics ranging from innovations like large language models to the role of quantum computing, governance challenges and regulatory responses, workforce disruptions, and the potential for artificial general intelligence. You'll come away with an insider's perspective on AI progress and get beyond the hype to understand real-world limitations and applications.
From actionable business advice to philosophical discussions on the human condition, the Razorwire podcast offers incredible insights from industry veterans Oliver and Richard. Learn about investments, cybersecurity issues, ethical considerations, the AI "arms race," and transhumanist ideals spanning neural implants to robot bodies.
Whether you're making strategic decisions in your company, tracking public policy issues, or just want to sound informed on emerging tech, the Razorwire podcast delivers the context and perspectives needed to evaluate AI's present impact and future potential with wisdom. Tune in for enlightening analysis you won't get from sensationalised media reports. Every episode offers rare clarity to think smarter about technological forces shaping society.
"I don’t believe we know humanity is not ready for AGI. We haven’t evolved in the way that we think, and as I said, our colloquial, war-minded economics today to actually even have AGI benefit the planet."
